Custom Trucks Will Benefit Folds of Honor at Special 9/11 Auction
A collaboration between Ram, UFC, RealTruck and Barrett-Jackson will send two exceptional custom Ram trucks to the Barrett-Jackson 2026 Las Vegas Auction to benefit the Folds of Honor Foundation and UFC Foundation. The trucks will cross the auction block as a pair on Friday, Sept. 11, 2026, at approximately 3:30 p.m. PDT in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The sale celebrates American innovation and brings together the iconic power and heritage of the Ram brand, RealTruck’s leadership in aftermarket accessories, UFC’s global reach and Barrett-Jackson’s auction platform.
With Barrett-Jackson waiving all fees and commissions, 100% of the hammer price from the sale of both vehicles, which are being sold as a pair, will benefit the Folds of Honor Foundation, providing life-changing educational scholarships to the families of America’s fallen or disabled military and first responders. In addition, a portion of the proceeds will also benefit Hispanic charities via the UFC Foundation in recognition of Mexican Independence Day weekend, as both UFC and Zuffa Boxing will host events in Las Vegas, Nev. and Glendale, Ariz., on Saturday, Sept. 12.
The two highly anticipated Ram trucks – a one-of-one 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee SRT and a 2005 Ram 1500 SRT-10 – are being auctioned on the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York City, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania. As the nation pauses to remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost, this partnership honors the extraordinary courage and selflessness of the first responders, military service members and everyday citizens who answered the call in the minutes, hours, days and years that followed.
UFC President and CEO Dana White will be on the Barrett-Jackson auction block to help drive bids for these incredible trucks, alongside Barrett-Jackson Chairman and CEO Craig Jackson.
“Barrett-Jackson has a long history of uniting automotive passion with incredible charitable causes,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “Partnering with global powerhouses like Ram, UFC and RealTruck allows us to amplify our fundraising efforts. Having Dana White bring his unmatched energy to our Las Vegas auction block on Sept. 11 ensures we will maximize the support for the true heroes and families honored by these incredible charitable organizations.”
The unique trucks are custom builds from two generations, each pushing the limits of performance, craftsmanship and customization.
“I’m grateful to UFC, Ram, RealTruck and Barrett-Jackson for this unique and very special opportunity,” said Folds of Honor founder and CEO Lt. Col. Dan Rooney. “The four companies are true patriots that are changing our recipients lives through education.”
In addition to the one-of-a-kind vehicles, the winning bidder will also secure a VIP UFC Experience to the future event of their choice.
“Millions of Americans remember where they were and what they were doing on Sept. 11, 2001,” said Tim Kuniskis, head of American Brands, SRT Performance and North America marketing, Stellantis. “Twenty-five years later, most of us remember 9/11 as a defining moment in our nation’s history. But for thousands of Americans, it is part of our personal history.
“At Ram, SRT and Direct Connection, we are honored to support the men and women who protect and serve our communities. The opportunity to support these great causes while bringing together two of the most exciting trucks in Ram history is an honor. The 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee SRT represents where we’re headed, while the Viper-powered Ram SRT-10 represents where we’ve been. Together, they celebrate American performance, American ingenuity and the resilient spirit that has carried this country through every challenge.”
